Abstract: A pump dispenser for liquid products includes a pump chamber having a cylinder, and a piston slidable within the cylinder with an outlet passage extending through the piston. A spring within the chamber urges the piston to an extended position. An inlet opening is disposed at an end of the chamber for receiving product to be dispensed. An inlet check valve is positioned at the inlet opening to permit entry of product into the chamber as the piston is extended by the spring, but to prevent exit of product from the chamber through the inlet opening as the piston is depressed against the spring. An outlet check valve is carried by the piston within the outlet passage to permit discharge of product from the chamber through the outlet passage as the piston is depressed against the spring.

Abstract: In accordance with the invention, a liquid dispensing fitment for use on a container having a neck comprises a plastic body which has an inner wall defining an axial spout extending from within the neck of a container and axially beyond the end of the neck. The body has an outer annular wall spaced from the spout and connected to the spout by an integral annular connecting portion. The spout extends axially beyond the outer wall and has an upper generally C-shaped cross section defining an opening and a lower annular cross section. The annular connecting portion is inclined with respect to the axis of the spout and has its lowermost portion aligned with the opening of the C-shaped portion of said spout. The outer wall has an axial opening extending from a position aligned with the juncture of the C-shaped portion and annular portion of the spout through the annular connecting portion to define a combined drain back opening and a near empty pour out hole.
